Monrovia, Liberia - JUNE 16, 2012: Annie and John are part of a Feed the Future training program in Nimba in eastern Liberia. The program is teaching their community of farmers how to improve production and decrease environmental impacts. Traditionally farmers in this community used slash and burn techniques which created cluttered farm plots with minimal productivity that only lasted for a year or two. These new techniques will enable farmers to continue to farm the same land for several years by rotating the crops and better utilizing the soil by planting in rows. In the lowlands, they are learning how to make rice patties to grow rice in more consentrated areas. The farmers are taking their acquired knowledge at the community farm and applying it their own farms and teaching their children so they will produce better yields. Photo by Morgana Wingard

On my way back on #66, I spied a silo to the north and headed up 87th Street to investigate and found the silo, barn and a crib that was probably used for seed storage at one time. That's assuming that the seed was well dried which might not be a problem in Colorado. That would have been in the days before Monsanto and GMO "revolution" and before farmers had to become chemists and forced to wager on our health.
I went out to Hygiene a couple of days ago to drop something off and sheezaam, I encountered a rain storm, a real anomaly this summer. I turned off #66 because it looked like the clouds were developing to the north. I have traveled this route before and I was intent on getting to the Meining barn while it was under terrific skies. I had spotted the Meining barn some time ago and mistakenly told Eddie. The sky was the pits for me but not so today. I don't know if others have scouted it from Eddie but that usually happens. I shot a scene and posted it on Flickr then I saw half a dozen people shooting there within the month. The Meinings now fix and maintain autos and have become Longmont's standbys.
The skies were building across the Rockies and were starting to stream in a rather threatening fashion which was a tremendous relief. I stopped at an ordinary view with the extraordinary gathering clouds. I found a couple grade B scenes here. I decided to do what I could with them.
I need to bail again whenever I see some spectacular clouds. I'd hope that we would get some breaks from the continuous ninety degree heat (who knew we'd get another string of them starting September) and this kind of clouding keeps up. There was no way I could move on until I at least took the shot here. Even at that, I had to do a bit of stretching in Photoshop to get the view I envisioned. The sky was a piece of cake. I thought it might be more than ordinary if I treated the clouds properly.
I have been praying to get some relief in September and it looks like we may get a day in the seventies up ahead so I'll lay out my long sleeve shirt and jacket. It looks like we may bump into the 90s again.

Today more than 50 farmers and plaintiffs have traveled to Manhattan to hear oral arguments regarding Monsanto’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit that will protect them from Monsanto's abusive lawsuits, filed earlier this summer. At the heart of the lawsuit is the threat that farmers face due to genetic trespass as a result of Monsanto’s genetically modified (GMO) seed and the aggressive and unprecedented enforcement of alleged patent rights.
We're asking all who support family farmers in their quest for justice against Monsanto's abusive lawsuits against farmers to show your support tomorrow by changing your Twitter and Facebook icons so that all your friends know that you support family farmers.

Farmer on his electric tricycle
Yesterday we took the recently fully opened Metro Line 16 for the first time and discovered a beautiful part of this vast, vast city that is still very much left as Pudong used to be pre-1995.
The silence was deafening (even heard my own footsteps again), the air clean even on a cloudy day, the produce fresh, the people warm and welcoming - even heard cocks crowing, sheep bleating and donkeys braying. A mere 30 minutes from us by subway. We will return.
As far as we went we heard the word, 'laowai" (foreigners) whispered from houses and passers by. Many came out to see what we were doing there as they simply could not comprehend why we'd enjoy visiting a quiet place like their own. Many took photos, such as this father who was proud to have a photo of his son and daughter with two laowai and then ...

This is from a conversation I had with one of the farm technicians (the son of a small coffee farmer) in a farm in Manizales, Colombia. The main point is that many of the farm workers that pick coffee in that farm during the peak harvest are actually small coffee farmers (or their sons and daughters) from other coffee regions.
In Colombia, different regions harvest at different times so small coffee farmers can focus in their farms during the harvest and work in other farms in other regions during other seasons. It struck me as important in the debate in Fair Trade that some want to frame as small farmers versus farm workers. The reality is not that simple.
In this case, Fair Trade would hopefully benefit whole farming communities (small farmers and farm workers from the same communities that depend on coffee for their livelihoods) and not necessarily one group versus the other.
